It was a pretty “incredible moment” as he found out live on air:

It’s OK to cry, everyone:
Added to the official list of things a man is allowed to get teary-eyed over: watching head coaches get their Hall of Fame announcement on live television.

Former Steelers coach Bill Cowher found out he’s going to Canton yesterday:

Hardest hit, however? Former Raiders great Tom Flores, who did not make the cut (which is a travesty if you as us):

And we’re not alone. Tom Flores is the No. 1 trending topic on Twitter right now:
Maybe next year?
